    A lot of people love it, so I won't call it the worst beer from one of my favorite breweries, but I just didn't get Mad Elf from Troegs. Tastes like cherry cough syrup to me. Maybe I'll have to revisit it again, because I think I'm in the minority with it.

    Phin and Matt's from ST is a weird blip in an otherwise solid-to-amazing stable of beers from them.

    "All Day IPA" from Founders. Not a bad beer; just not as good as everything else from Founders

    I didn't read this whole thread and i'm sure its been mentioned but Idiots Drool was a train wreck. I still have 2 bottles that I am hoping a few years in the cellar will perform a miracle on them or maybe advancements in technology will find a solution to fixing this beer.

    Friendship Brew by Green Flash. I really enjoy most of their offerings but that one......wow...I suffered through a couple sips before dumping. Just a miss for me

    Probably more me not liking the ESB style than anything else, too many unpleasant flavors, almost a drain pour.

    Much better on tap, I don't care for it in the bottle

    Interesting, we were at Bells a couple of weeks ago and I was so put off by prior experiences with this beer I didn't even attempt one on tap. I stayed with the stouts. Happy All Stouts Day

    Surly Firey Hell. I'd rather take a kick to the junk than drink that crap again. Maybe it's just me, but those spicy beers that give you instant heartburn and make your eyes water need to go away.

    I came in here to write this very post.

    Honorable Mention: Dogfish Head Tweason'ale. I am now on a gluten-free-free diet.

    I personally cannot stand pumpkin or chile beers, so the answer for me is clear...
